Drug Recalls

When Washington State residents receive a prescription from their doctor, they expect the medication to be safe. They are relying on their doctors, drug manufacturers, and the government that the prescribed drug will help their medical condition, not hurt them.

Tragically, too often this is not the case. Thousands of Americans are seriously injured or even killed by defective prescribed drugs each year.

The Public Needs Protection

Some drug companies make billions of dollars in profits. Because drug companies are driven by financial gain, sometimes they release drugs to the market that have not been fully researched or the dangers of side effects are not entirely known.

The public cannot trust the government’s Food and Drug Administration to fully protect them from the harm of defective drugs. While they should not be used as test subjects, innocent Americans pay the price on a daily basis when drugs are harmful.

We pursue full financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future needs, and pain and suffering when a defective drug harms our client.

Pharmaceutical companies pay many millions of dollars to lawyers and their own experts each year to defend their interests and preserve their profits. We do not make back down. We have successfully litigated client cases all the way to the Washington Supreme Court.

What Drugs Are Defective?

New defective drugs could emerge at any time but recently numerous prescription drugs have been found to cause serious harm to the public. For example, Merck’s defective drug Vioxx caused numerous people to suffer heart attacks and strokes as a result of taking this prescribed medication.

Another known prominent defective drugs include Paxil, which when taken during pregnancy can lead to serious birth defects for the newborn. Other known harmful drugs include: Fentanyl, Seroquel, Accutane, and Reglan.
